Who should see the documentary film Patent Absurdity?

In the month since its release, the Free Software Foundation funded documentary film about software patents and the Bilski case, Patent
Absurdity, has been viewed more
than 100,000 times. But are the people we most want to influence in the debate seeing it?

End Software Patents director, Ciaran O'Riordan said, "We’re looking for the key people in US patent politics, the
software patent critics inside the big companies, the professors who
support patents but might see why software doesn’t fit that system, and
anyone else that might consider giving our position some support when
the post-Bilski debate erupts."

Today is one of only six remaining dates favored for the release of Supreme Court's ruling in Bilski.

Tonight (8pm EST) is also movie night at the Firedoglake Book Salon where you can chat with Ciaran O'Riordan and Patent Absurdity director Luca Lucarini about the movie and next steps in the fight against software patents.
